About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (Air Force Research Laboratory) issued a limited sole source justification notice for KWYN SOLAR software licenses and support services to enhance space domain awareness training and education capabilities. The procurement covers a two-year period and includes 5 Foundational Licenses, 1 Pro License, 1 Server License, along with on-site and remote support services from Charles River Analytics. The government justified the sole source award by determining that Charles River Analytics is the only vendor capable of providing the unique KWYN SOLAR capability, which has been independently validated by multiple cognitive evaluation teams from DARPA Hallmark and has demonstrated proven effectiveness in training programs at STARCOM and Delta 13. The software provides immersive space domain awareness training with high-fidelity controls for students learning orbital dynamics, space objects, wargaming, payload design, and spacecraft design within a context of over 20,000 resident space objects. Contract FA875125P0069 was awarded to an unspecified vendor on September 23, 2025, though the contract value was not disclosed in the available documentation. The government posted a Notice of Proposed Contract Action to SAM.gov but received no responses, reinforcing the sole source determination while committing to monitor the market for future competition opportunities.
